Diffusion weighted image (DWI) by single shot echo planner image (SS-EPI) on prostatic cancer is sennsitive to motion artifacts. Line scan diffusion image (LSDI) is inherently insensitive to motion artifacts. The purpose of this study was to compare the apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) of SS-EPI with that of LSDI in normal prostate and prostatic cancer. There was no significant difference between ADC by SS-EPI and by LSDI. Prostatic ca. ADC and normal prostate ADC by LSDI was inherently insensitive to motion artifacts.
